The registrar of Shelby County, Tennessee (http://www.shelbycountytn.gov/index.aspx?NID=758), provides instructions to obtain birth and death records that are kept in Memphis, the county seat. Certified copies of the original records are available to the person named on the record and to certain family members or legal representatives through the Memphis and Shelby County Health Department's Vital Records Office. Marriage and divorce files are not available through this office but can be obtained via the County Clerk's Office.
